a multitude of sold one of its stuff. while the western media focuses only on showing a trust pos, being violently just hang, the country fell to agree on a price cap on washing gases. they scramble to prepare for the coming winter and will reportedly have to get through it with our chinese l. n. g. ex said to have been suspended by the was watching aussie international coming to you live from moscow is good to happy with us. now we start way that breaking news. the commander of russia is a special military operation has warned. the key of could use prohibited weapons to attack the front lines, city of care song, general game today we can say the situation around the city is tennyson has not ruled out what he calls the most difficult decisions. while the russian military is
2:02 pm
fortifying its positions. there in anticipation of a massive ukrainian offensive, the come on to say is safe keeps trips might try to attack a local hydroelectric power plant, which could lead to the flooding of surrounding areas kissell in the city. or dorothy say that preparing a relocation of local civilians who could be in danger. we go now to the latest from ukraine where a series of missile strikes have been reported across the country. on tuesday, the russian defense ministry says it launched high precision attacks on ukrainian energy infrastructure and military command centers. well, here are the latest on verified pictures from denise patrol where the regions largest thermal power plot was hit. the reports that the missile strike may have led to power outages in the neighboring hall called region. and here on verify the images from here where mass power outages were reported off. the multiples strikes on an energy supply facility outages have been reported across the country on
2:03 pm
tuesday with ukrainian authorities asking people to drastically cut energy consumption. president landscape is 30 percent of the country's energy infrastructure has been destroyed within the past week. a ukrainian military member has confirmed the russian counter cars each were crushed into where residential building and key as on monday, only because it had been shot down by the ukrainians. they shot at it, they damaged, they changed the subject 3. we were shooting at the drone, so it deviated little from the course. and if we hadn't shot the drone would have hit right on target. they would all hit their targets. yes, there were casualties. i saw them with my own eyes and we brought them out. ukranian authorities have released this fatigue showing several security officers trying to shoot down a small road in the size of a key of using their rifles. they apparently managed to hit the croft enough time
2:04 pm
to change his cause. it was then seen crashing down and exploding on the road near by. several casualties have been reported in the ukrainian capital office series of russian as strikes over the past week. ukraine is even willing a mobile app to help civilians take part in intercepting drones and missiles. people have been instructed to use the app to take pictures of incoming aggregate threats and then click a button to send the data to the ukrainian military, which can use its defenses against the targets, instead of advising, instead of advising people to take shelter during the strike some ukrainian officials are now calling on civilians to come out and fire their personal weapons into the sky. he been more than you can shoot down the she had drones as soon as you hear the sound of a drone. and if you have a weapon to use, i also think that our hunters and other people who have firearms can and should be shooting them down. or former c i a analyst on ceo of burg,
2:05 pm
associated flurry johnson say such incidents on statement from key f demonstrate a failure of ukraine's defenses. when people fire a rifle from the ground, the bullet goes up in the air. it does not magically then disappear. are disintegrating, if that bullet doesn't hit something, it comes back at the ground in force, kill people on the ground. so if, if you're going to put hundreds of ukrainians out of the streets firing white into the air with, you know, i'm presuming it's a sub where it's 62 by 51 cartridge. end up with a lot civilian ashby's that or be, or simply by these drones that do get shot down and crash it apart. but what it highlights is the complete inadequacy failure of ukraine's air defense system. or they can even call it
2:06 pm
a narrative fence system because clearly they don't have an integrated system that can function to stop drones or missiles for that matter. so calling up on individuals to get out to the streets like this, particularly carrying firearms. the other thing that the western media has ignored is the fact that some of the ukrainian, the, the, let's call on the legacy air defense systems. the s 300, the book that when they would fire and miss their target, those warheads would then to send back to the ground. it would hit civilian targets . so i think the reality if there was an honest objective assessment done, they discover that ukrainians have killed and wounded more of their own citizens than anything that's been done through russian drones or missiles. we go through rushes, craftsman, our region where 15 people have been killed,
2:07 pm
including 3 children, and 19 more injured off the fighter jet crush, just outside a residential building. the health ministry say that several victims were made in hospital in critical condition. ortiz equals on reports from the c. oh, absolutely. basically, behind me is a sporadic makeshift vigil just outside the apartment block that was hed by the fire as a result of this horrific accident as, as we've been waiting for, we have witnessed a steady flow of people of locals who come here who bring flowers as you can see children's toys, candles, and so on and so forth. they come here to, well bring all of that to take pictures to just stand in silence to collect their thoughts and maybe feel that they aren't alone in the face of the tragedy here. this resort town is truly tiny. it so populations just under 90000 people. so when a whole apartment block, which you can hopefully make out in the dark behind me as well. well,
2:08 pm
this tragedy as truly will touch the hearts and pretty much everyone here. the, well, it's fair to save a very large portion of the population as to what happened here. basically on monday, a military jet crash right behind this family supermarket that you can also see in the ground. and in front of the apartment block, it was a test flight plan there. shortly upon take off its engines, took, were caught on fire. so the pilots, they did everything they could to steer it away from the residential areas. and they were very close to succeeding. in fact, the as of c is just only about a kilometer away from the place where i'm standing. so this is where they tried to direct the plane, but well, they only made it this far. so the jet crashed in the back yard and the, the, since it was full of jet fuel the, it's spelled upon the on to the apartment block. so it instantly was caught
2:09 pm
a blaze as well. 15 people had been confirmed dead in this accident in the seraphic tragedy. some 40 people are receiving medical attention right now, and if in fact we can see right now the equipment, the city equipment, we should witness them are moving away the debris, at least some of the debris over this military jet. now we do know that the city services, they have already finished clearing out the rubble and they've already assess the damage to the apartment block. apparently, according to the authorities, it can be rebuilt and can be restored and some local, some of the residents of this apartment block. they have already been allowed to return to their flats, to their apartments that haven't been damaged or destroyed by the blaze. now of course, right now, the authorities are focusing the efforts on relieving some of the suffering of those who have lost their loved ones, lost their while acquaintances and friends. and well, of course,
2:10 pm
those who have been temporarily displaced by the tragedy the today and tomorrow are the official days of morning here in the region. and this that it shows the wreckage of the plane being removed from the seed. emergency services are finished searching through the rubble and say there appear to be no more victims rushes. investigative committee is looking into a possible violation of flight procedures that led to the crash. official say that the jet could have fallen due to a technical failure. a warning for you, some of the following images are graphic and could be distressing to you. for people have been lifted from yes to the regions capital with another 2 victims, including a pregnant women being prepared for the transfer among the patients, the 2 children in serious, but sable condition, a 5 year old girl and a 17 year old boy. all of the casualties are an intensive cat. the jet to initially appeared to have exploded as it came down near the building. but officials say the
2:11 pm
massive blaze was caused by the ignition of fuel which burst from the jet tanks as it fell. the pilots managed to safely a jack from the now being questioned by russian investigators as they seek to determine the exact cause of the incident. distinguished a russian air force pilot vladimir pope, shed his assessment of the crash. you could feel ripple you. here was more me, do the pilot probably did everything possible to make sure he could be allowed safely? what could have happened at the last moment, however, is that the jet was being steered towards a clear space like a field or perhaps a road hole. and the pilot was sure that it was going crashed there without any further issue. however, during an injection planes, a movement is effected and that is probably what might have happened. just controls could have fail. you causing it to fly in a different direction towards a residential area where it eventually fell. well, we can still say that the pilots did everything possible to prevent that from
2:12 pm
happening and at least they did everything they could at that moment, is up to the investigation to determine what actually happened, of course. and that is going to take some time. they will say whether or not and ever had been made that for now, our assessments remains a probability that the e u has been unable to reach an agreement on a price camp on russian gas with mistakes divided on the issue and make concerns over the energy crisis, well that's is trying to set you off the state and the gas and porter to hold we cells to europe in order to protect its domestic supply. me also contribute to rachel. marston has more so up until now, europe has been able to fall back on some other energy options and sticking it to russian president vladimir putin cutting itself off from cheap russia gaster sanctions. specifically, the block had rely on liquefied natural gas from china, which as the world's largest buyer was selling europe
2:13 pm
a surplus. but even those options haven't been sufficient to avoid industrial closures rationing and winter blackout threats. but if you thought things couldn't possibly get a worse, well, they just might, yes, china is reportedly planning to stop selling. it's surplus to europe, the national development done reform commission, the nation's top economic planner, asked petro china co send opec and canoe guilty de, to keep winter cargoes for domestic use. a move by china to secure its own supply, could drain shipments to europe, and exacerbate the regions energy crunch in the case of a cold winter. imagine that a country actually place in the interests of its own people. first. maybe you should try that instead of sacrificing the blocks on citizens coat for ukraine, and then whining about social unrest, well clutching their pearls over the rise of the anti establishment. right? so how much gas has china supplied to the you? well, about 7 percent. that size supply of its supply since the 1st half of the year. that's according to chinese broker figure,
2:14 pm
some of which is just rushing yes. so the china then export it to europe because at the same time is china increased sales to europe. it's important l. angie from moscow did as well. so russia, yes, wandered through china has conveniently allow the you to maintain it. virtuous, public posture while effectively boosting russian gas sales seems like the only big losers in this charade. are you citizens. and remember, this new supply cut would come at a time when you had already agreed on a block wide savings initiative of 10 percent energy savings until march 2023. so is that even enough? now, given these new development that that's a big question. but at least you can still rely on its best friend america, right. after all, it was washington that coax brussels into this reckless bender and into sanctioning itself. we're going to say with great friendship toward our american friends,
2:15 pm
our norwegian friends, that you are great. you provide us with gas, but there is one thing that can not last for long to pay $4.00 times the price. that isn't the exact meaning of friendship. oh, such great friends. i great friendship that you have to bag them not to drastically overcharged for gas when they increasingly find themselves in the position of monopoly over your economy and industry. i believe that's called check make. so all the rest of the world adapting carries on europe is operating from a position of weakness and desperation, even evoking a cap on the sale price of gas as a buyer. when the sellers have all the options in the world, literally it's a race against the clock for europe ahead of winter and the lights are already started to flicker. well, europeans are struggling with the energy bills that use foreign policy chief says there's plenty of money. oh, be it for the blog security on the military needs. well also some europeans are impressed with how they definitely sending that taxes with people coming out to
2:16 pm
protest against high cost of living in paris. scuffles with police have taken place during the demonstrations which come it may decades. high inflation across from china's foreign ministry has condemned protesters who illegally and to beijing consulate in the u. k. city of manchester, a several riots as trying to storm the premises and physically assaulted employee. if a diplomatic mission making says it's conceal, it has a full right to defend itself and has expressed hopes. u. k. will ensure the protection of embassies and consulates in the country. so sensor trouble makers illegally entered the chinese consulate general in manchester, endangering the security of the premises. any countries overseas diplomatic mission has the right to take the necessary measures to uphold the peace and dignity of the premises. however, the western mainstream media has put its own spin on the story, showing footage aimed at depicting
2:17 pm
a so called hong kong pro democracy protester being dragged into the missions grounds and beaten up sparking outrage. meanwhile, british police have launched an investigation involving an alleged assault on a protester with a number of u. k. officials condemning the so called attack and some even urging to some in the chinese ambassador and to expel or prosecute any official involved in the incident . well i, so take a closer look at this footage of the incident showing what really happened there. several protest is the scene trying to storm through the consulate gaze and even throwing punches at employees, one of whom was grabbed and dragged out of the gates and was then clearly seen being kicked in the head while on the ground. british police than way in it using force to disperse the attack as pushing them away from the entrance or the chinese consulate, security staff within, violently detailing one of the trespasses. was a lot going on. i didn't lose.
2:18 pm
i mean, byron, i knew that everybody knew it only independent china specialist andrew lung says western media attempts to demonize china are despicable. first of all, a shame of the so called hong kong produce that for what it did and it outside of chinese consulate because the video really show that when we come to the security guard, we're trying to asi purposes not to put a walk into materials. you need to be outside the security gate. the security guard outside security gate was around it by bit more of the whole process. and then
2:19 pm
i sold them and pushed to the ground and around and then until you call it inside the gate. so. busy what happened when outside the rescue and also i arrested this one of the vendors inside of a gate and rightly so. so that's what actually happened. and then i'm also a shame on the stand of the journalism in. ready as a sub will be, as of the media outlets, and some of them reputable and trying to twist the story. and actually they actually have seen what actually happened. this is really part of the, the west for almost a day, the demonized tire ukraine. foreign ministry wants the country to break
2:20 pm
off relations with iran. he has chief diplomat, is asked president for lensky to approve in the if the, let's see. so the iranian drawings by russia, which moscow has denied to ron bears full responsibility for destroying it's relations with ukraine. in light of the massive damage inflicted by iranian drones on ukraine civilian infrastructure, i am submitting a proposal to the president of ukraine to break off diplomatic relations with iran . iran has also denied supplying gets drones to russia and has branded such accusations. baseless kev now wants iranian rival israel to provide advance to advent assistance to ukraine to help shut down the russian drones strikes and television is reportedly not impressed with ukraine's demands. as israel defense minister is said to be avoiding speaking with his ukrainian counterpart who's been trying to get through on the phone. however, another report suggests israel's prime minister is planning to talk to kids chief
2:21 pm
diplomat about ad fence. let's not discuss the developmental professor site at mohammed mirandi from the university of toronto. many thanks for joining us on the program. so what do you think israel isn't rushing to give military help to ukraine, all the security risks involved as well, perhaps, or is more about diplomacy? maybe even money is really israeli regime really can't do much to the iron so called iron don't is not a very effective tool. it is not even capable of holding back the most basic rockets made homemade rockets in government. so obviously they're not going to be able to stop drones, whether they're iranian, made drones or less and made jones made from any other place. so regime on the one hand,
2:22 pm
it's it the island don't. it does not have the capacity that the ukrainians are looking for and if they do give it to the premiums and they're going to get into a lot of trouble with the lunch and government. does it look to you like ukrainians, trying to involve israel in the conflict in some way? and would it re, i'll be willing to getting hold the regime obviously, is a part of the western county coast ally of the united states. and one of the ways to influence washington is this really regime. but just as the turkish drums didn't seem to have much of an impact on the battle ground, the israeli regime, i don't, it's not, does not have the capacity to change the facts on the ground. what i think it is
2:23 pm
most important is that instead of looking bit ukrainian regime and started looking for new means to fight these drones, may show for a way out of this war. i think that the cold, when winter hits europe, the economies of europe are going to suffer. and the populations across europe are going to begin more seriously questioning their regimes about their policy towards ukraine. and therefore, instead of seeking some solution which is not available, if americans don't have the capability to bring down the germans, obviously israel losing doesn't have that capable. instead of looking for some solution that is non existent, the smart thing to do it,
2:24 pm
the spirit lives of ukrainian and to come to some sort of peace. while the rushes form a president to meet, you met with the f as already spoken, are warning as well. against sending any weapon rate to ukraine. let's say israel doesn't. if it does go ahead with sending weapons the ukraine. how would you, do you think russia would respond to that? well, the damage that it would cost to the relationship between russia and the regime was enormous. already the russians are unhappy with this machine, the cause of it attacks on here. is there any attack here on a regular basis? they killed the soldiers. they claim this like why the target, but they never do know the writing casualties is ready. have never been able to
2:25 pm
give any names that the body and that were killed and strike. they just give it the wrong order to justify the violation of international law. even though, even if, even if they had attacked the one national all because the iranian syria at the request that the government, but in any case, israeli relations with the russians are not ideal here. and i think that if the machines make the machine, make the foolish mistake of involving itself more directly ukraine then that word damage would probably be coming back to the main story. now, how some within the key have come, one ukraine to cut relations with iran. so that does happen. what would that mean for to on how would that affect the country's international standard? iran doesn't care. the ukrainian government is not important to run during the
2:26 pm
last decade more than a decade. the ukrainian. ringback took whatever dance washington wanted him to take . they supported maximum punch or sanction they reported killing or ne ronnie and as a result of those sanction ukrainians. how with occupation in iraq there's really no loss between iran and ukrainian machine. and also the very fact that the off battalion and other right when fanatics in ukraine has such enormous power with the support of western governments, remind the iranian of isis and how western governments nature government supported the ices in syria, iraq, and the consequences that it has when the people are here in the people of iraq. so it just,
2:27 pm
it just reinforces the belief in ron that the united states and will use the most despicable forces that exist in order to achieve their goals. whether the contrary rebels in nicaragua, and honduras, whether it's isis. and now i did in syria, whether it's the same isis and outside in yemen, which are allied to w, a b s, or in the finest on in the 1980. and the parliament in the 1990 s before 911. of course the m u. k. terrace organization in iran, which fought for saddam same terror. murdered, 17000. you know, now based in our radio and across europe as an asset of nathan. so the fact that the united states is the power, not these are not these in ukraine is something that iranians finding disgusting. many thanks for speaking to us today. appreciate your time professor site,
2:28 pm
